Causes of Allergic Dermatitis
Primary Substances
Allergic dermatitis occurs when certain ingredients in cosmetics irritate skin cells, prompting them to produce antibodies and trigger allergic reactions.
The most common allergens in cosmetics are fragrances, preservatives, and heavy metals. Heavy metals primarily refer to lead and mercury exceeding safe levels in products marketed for exfoliation or skin whitening.
Other culprits include p-phenylenediamine and cobalt chloride in hair dyes, nickel sulfate in oil paints, and rosin.
The fragrances mentioned here are not pure, high-quality essential oils, but generally inferior or synthetic fragrances. While artificially blended to smell pleasant, their effects cannot be guaranteed.
Individuals with genetically sensitive skin who use cosmetics during periods of heightened sensitivity are highly prone to developing cosmetic contact dermatitis and exacerbating pre-existing conditions.
Primary Causes
If cosmetics are free of quality defects yet still cause allergic reactions, the main reasons include: 1. Applying cosmetics over existing skin inflammation. 2. Simultaneously using multiple cosmetic products. 3. Using substandard cosmetics.4. Incorrect application of cosmetics.
Cosmetic acne, photodermatitis, and skin pigmentation abnormalities from quality-assured products primarily stem from improper selection.
For instance, oily-skinned individuals using oil-in-water formulations may experience sebum secretion disruption, leading to blackheads, inflammatory papules, or secondary infections forming pustules.
